  1. Click ‘Get Form’ to open the Functional Assessment Observation Form in the editor.
  2. Begin by entering the 'Name' and 'Starting Date' at the top of the form. This information is crucial for tracking observations over time.
  3. In the first group of columns, list any observed problem behaviors. Each behavior should be recorded as a single event, noting its sequence number.
  4. Next, identify and document hypothesized predictors in the second group of columns. These are antecedent triggers that may lead to the problem behaviors.
  5. In the following columns, categorize perceived functions of each behavior into 'Get/Obtain' or 'Escape/Avoid'. This helps clarify why these behaviors may be occurring.
  6. Record actual consequences in the last set of columns whenever a problem behavior occurs. If no behaviors are observed during a session, simply write your initials in this column.
  7. Once sufficient data is collected, analyze it to validate or disconfirm your initial hypothesis regarding the behaviors observed.
